Hogan Lovells 2024 Election Impact and Congressional Outlook Report
Hamburg counsel and co-lead of the Hogan Lovells Trade Secrets group Anna Katharina-Friese said: "bringing together these complimentary services will allow us to help clients better manage their proprietary information by driving efficiencies in their workflow and creating a holistic strategy from the outset".
For trade secrets to be protectable, reasonable measures should be taken to guard their secrecy. However, recent changes to legislation such as the EU Trade Secrets Directive and the U.S. Defend Trade Secrets Act, as well as the adoption of new technologies, emerging cybersecurity threats, and the growth of agile workforces have all presented new challenges for businesses looking to protect their trade secrets and confidential information.
Joe Raffetto, Washington, D.C.-based partner and Trade Secrets co-lead added: "the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has forced businesses to rapidly implement large scale remote working arrangements creating new risks for trade secrets holders. The importance of taking proactive steps to protect proprietary information is more crucial than ever."
